Antonin Tirefort

Antonin Jean André Tirefort (14 June 1899 – 18 April 1969) was a French politician.

Tirefort was born in Ferrières, Tarn, on 14 June 1899 to a carpenter father and a grocer mother.

He attended a military academy and served during World War II, retiring with the rank of commander.

In 1962, Tirefort was elected to the National Assembly from Tarn's 2nd constituency as a candidate of the Union for the New Republic, defeating the incumbent André Vidal, who opted to run for reelection as an independent candidate.

Tirefort did not run for reelection in 1967, and the UNR chose to nominate Jacques Limouzy.
